Ozzie better be on his game, because we have an adequate #1 in Conklin. I was going to make a thread about the kid in his first debut game in red and white, without his stellar performance in that game, we could have easily lost.

Maybe Babs should split games between Ozzie / Conklin and let their performance decide who's #1.

"This kid" is 32 years old.

Conklin did a great job for the Pens last year and is keeping it up here, it looks like. I don't know about #1 though. He could either be a potential starter or a Manny Legace in the making.

Conklin is a nice guy and had a great run last year in Pittsburgh when he practically saved their season when Fleury was out.But other than that he has never shown any signs of being a undisputed starter.Not in Edmonton, not in Columbus and not in Buffalo.

Besides that, I do think Ozzie has earned the right by now to be Detroit's #1.

I went to buy some camouflage pants the other day but I couldn't find any.

I say split em and always play them both on a consistent basis. Either one is fine for the playoffs because look at our D! Now when we enter the playoffs which ever one is hotter go with that one! IMO we have two quality backup goalies and with our D there both good choices. I have seen Conklin play before he was here and he's more of a Cujo type goalie and can make a big save here and there and thrives on a lot of shots. Where as Ozzie is a good goalie when a solid D is in front if him thus boosting his confidence on the rare breakdowns our D might have. But too many breakdowns might shatter his confidence and thus you have a shaky and shell shocked Osgood lol.

So when playoffs come if our D is wounded Conks might be the better choice. But if our D was like last Year then Ozzie it is!
